I didn't know we got to the place where our complete AS is blocked (you didn't specify this detail in the first message), so I assumed it's the usual cause :) Anyways, we, the IL users, probably deserve it, the same way we deserve our ISPs cutting down their bandwidth and causing our non-HTTP traffic to crawl by QoSing what's left... and why do we deserve it? Because we didn't cause the first ISP that did it to bankrupt by eliminating all their users (i.e. boycotting). It's the "everything is gonna be OK" approach. The second thing I would like to say is... people who do serious antispam business will not block e-mail by those RBLs - they mostly create loss for the businesses who use them... this is really not the way to solve the problem. The problem is... that no way is [1]. -- Shimi [1] http://oldwww.temp.ahbl.org/funny/response1.php
